Still happier (from my point of view anyway)- the fact that they’ve chosen to include my little introduction to Zwingli titled ‘Christ Our Captain: An Introduction to Huldrych Zwingli‘ (Quartz Hill Publishing: 2011) in it (as the introductory volume!).
via The Contract Is Signed and The Collection is in the ‘Works’ « Zwinglius Redivivus.
The first year of the 92nd Annual Biblioblogger Dinner and Junior Achievement Awards was organized by Jim West, starting pretty early.
The following years, at the 77th and 22.5th Annual Dinner, respectively, were awesome.
So, I how about we start planning ahead of time…
I’ve already submitted one, and as a student, I cannot submit more than one for my first time.
But, I was thinking… I would really like to have submitted others, especially for the Bibliobloggers unit…
Such as,
Crafting an Online Persona: Prove that Jim West is a Fuzzy-Wuzzy Teddy Bear
The New Cylon Messiah: How James McGrath is uniting Science Fiction and Religion, single-handedly.
Anyway…
Maybe next year

I’ve changed the URL from thechurchofjesuschrist.us to unsettledchristianity.com.
Lots of reasons, but mainly because its time to finally leave the old sect behind. That was my old church, of course, but more than that… it was my old prison, mental… if you know what I mean. It’s time to move ahead.
Plus, I have some excellent contributors, with more to be added.
If you are experiencing issues, let me know, but for the most part, I think that everything will be the same. I’m keeping the old url and pointing it here, so there should be no real problem. Anyway..
Welcome.
Let me make it clear from the beginning that I do not believe that for theology to be intellectually acceptable or a worthwhile endeavor that it need to be scientific. Too often, disciplines outside of traditional science want to label their fields as scientific or use scientific terminology or methodology to make their disciplines seem more relevant in today’s scientific climate.
Theology in the Age of Scientific Reasoning | A biologist’s view of science & religion.
Well… there goes that paradigm of science and theology not being able to go together….
They only thing I mean in that title is that Daniel who blogs here – a great blog, by the way – has been interviewed by Craig.

The disreputable dilettante Tom Finland, that famous Irishman who pollutes every biblioblog with his homoerotic and phallocentric feces of comments wants me to apologize. He says, in part,
“Just a note Joel, I would not press this “trash” that Rod has put up, again this is simply not Christian, and now my wife has seen it, and she will simply go liable, is this is continued! I could care less myself, but then I don’t speak or live by myself. Lets just say she has legal experience. And beware of a woman’s wrath!
*A word, saying I am sorry works wonders with my dear wife. She is Irish, and she is very upset!
As Joel rightfully observed, Manly Man Tom Finland (who is a complementarian) has all of a sudden decided that his wife wears the pants in his family. Oh, so he’s egalitarian now? I coulda sworn that these Reformed complementarian types were “manly men” who stood up for themselves, talked for themselves, and watched Mixed Martial Arts (*cough cough* homoerotic *cough cough*). First, Father Robert does the cowardly thing and bashes bashes Joel Watts on Jim West’s blog! He’s supposed to be [SUPPOSEDLY] a former Royal Marine, and he’s not even man enough to do that on these parts of the blogosphere. I call coward, and I call bull crap!
On the issue of sharing the Tom Finland post by Roland Boer, Father Robert for the first time has promised legal action, yes on this very post, he said ne’r word to Roland Boer, the author about any law suit. What does this tell me? Our former “Marine” remains a coward. He’s not even man enough to bring legal action against the man who wrote the post originally what is now 2 years ago! (but really wouldn’t be, in reality).
Father Robert is a woman-hating coward, he has proved that over the years with his arguments with Suzanne. There’s no doubt about that. His online actions lead me to suspect that he is overcompensating to live up to the complementarian vision of masculinity by being an angry, dickish, scaredy-cat piece of douche-baggery. If you think this post is a little tasteless, good on you! But, I have gotten sickened by Father Robert’s cyber-bullying and it was about time someone confronted him about it. Of course, what matters for Father Robert is not the original Greek of passages in the New Testament in the passages that deal with the lives of women (with often negative and oppressive implications), but to recognize the English Translations as THE Word of God. A ridiculous proposition, if you ask any reasonable person not named Tom Finland.
Of course, Father Robert recognizes that male bloggers have been too kind to Suzanne a woman: “I have noted too that most of the male bloggers have been very kind to you also”–yah, apparently, she shouldn’t be allowed to comment on blogs due to her gender. Perhaps women should allow their husbands to make comments on blogs for them, right Tom? Would that work? Women should be kept quiet in church, and even in on-line churches, aka, biblio-blogs. Tom Finland, the (phallo)logical thinking religious person that he is resorts to calling people he disagrees with names because he has no other way of arguing rationally. Of course I’ve resorted to polemics in this post, but this post is a rant and an attempt at humor at someone’s whose worldview is anything but funny. I won’t link to Tom Finland’s “blog” but it’s quite obvious that in his worldview, only the opinion of white males matters (no offense white people or males).
